I don’t blame him. I wouldn’t want someone to move in because they can’t support themselves and wouldn’t want to be responsible for financially supporting someone I’m only dating. It wasn’t that he’s against you living together, he was wary of the circumstances.
Your bf is insecure and whilst you haven’t done anything wrong I think that it’s important to recognise that some actions in life are incompatible with other things and have unintended consequences. People might call your bf names but having an emotional reaction to it isn’t wrong on his part either (though how he is handling it is).
Reddit likes to pretend peoples past doesn’t matter but in real life it does. We don’t usually want to share our closest partners sexually with our friends and being with the same person (even with a gap) is doing that. He probably doesn’t want his friend to know what sleeping with you feels like, or vice versa. He might also be worried that even if you weren’t interested in a dating relationship, you liked each other enough to sleep together once, would it happen again?
Sex does cause issues or at least, complications, even when nobody has actually done anything wrong.
Sounds like your relationship has run its course. She was young when the two of you got together, didn’t know who she was or what she wanted, but now that she’s grown up a bit, gotten a better job, made more friends, and figured out herself, she’s ready to move on… she’s just not mature enough to have the hot conversation with you. She may very well still love you, but the romantic love of your relationship is long gone if you aren’t a priority to her. It’s time to part ways as amicably as possible and go out and find a person who will always make you a priority.
Lmao what? That’s worse. Seriously, imagine if you asked that and your partner just avoided the question entirely. Not only would that hurt too, it wouldn’t even show any honesty. She’s the one who asked the question and if she didn’t want to be hurt, she shouldn’t have. You could argue that he could’ve lied but some people just aren’t like that and there’s nothing wrong with it IMO
I mean, it’s only been 3 months. I think it’s pretty normal to not be in love that early. She’s pretty young and doesn’t have a lot of experiences in relationships. I’d say it’s pretty normal for her to be questioning if this is normal and for her to be unsure of herself – I just hope she can see the value in the advice given here moving forward.
I totally agree with you, this is totally the case for us and i came to accept that some time ago, but we would always find a way for things to work out for the both of us and this never happened before. I can see that hes just exhausted and probably mentally not okay, but hes not really the type to be open about these things so im trying to be there for him. Its just not enough for me to see each other once a week??♀️ i hope things will change around once i confront him more? Anyways thank you for the comment!
that’s weird
That sounds like a fun family, I imagine various holiday festivities must be hella interesting!

Why do you live apart? This matters.

You'd do better at couple counselling than here.
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
So give me advice then.
That seems the easiest way to have answers
Are you sure you want to have a kid already? Definitely doesn’t sound like it.
